CHAPTER EIGHTEEN: MEMORIES
---
"In Moldovan. From Moldova. And it's mostly redacted" Diego explain before he gave the file to Allison "Great. So we can't read it or see it" Allison looked down at the file "From what I can tell, this document is from our original timeline" Five pointed at the file "It explain how Ben died. It refers to it as the 'Jennifer incident'" he said.
"We already know how Ben died" Luther said "Okay, then. Tell us" Five said "Well, it was a tragic accident. Ben, our Ben died because we failed as a team and..." Luther stopped himself.
"Nobody was responsible, and..." Luther stopped himself again and Five raise a brow as he tilted his head "And what?" he asked and Luther looked confused like he couldn't remember.
"Allison, how did Ben really died?" Five looked at Allison "It was a tragic accident. Ben died because we failed as a team" her and Luther said the last part at the same time which made them look at each other.
"Nobody was responsible, yet we were all responsible" Luther, Diego and Allison said at the same time.
"Ben Hargreeves represented the best of us" Diego, Luther and Allison said at the same time which glancing at each other.
"Ben was The Umbrella Academy" the three said like robots.
These was words that none of the siblings would usually use, but it was like they were engraved in their heads.
There was silence filled with shock, until Lila interrupted
"What kind of sick party trick is this?" Lila looked at Reginald.
"Okay, can any one of you remember how Ben actually died?" Five asked as he glanced at them "Anything?" he asked.
"I...I wasn't there" Viktor said "Well, neither was I, but the rest of you were. You think you'd remember all the details about the death of your beloved brother, but you don't" Five said "What the hell is going on here?" Luther asked "Isn't it obvious?" Five glanced at Reginald.
"Someone's been playing putty with your hippocampus" he said "Messing with our memories" Diego glanced at Reginald and everyone glanced at Reginald.
"As fascinating as this may be, I assure you I haven't the foggiest notion of what this is about" Reginald said "You know something, old man" Diego approached Reginald.
"You are speculating about the actions of a completely different version of myself from a completely different timeline. That said, it does sound like something I might do" Reginald said "Oh, here we go" Allison said "You messed with my wife's mind too" Five hissed as he glanced angry at their dad.
"There may or may not have been a certain clandestine project with a certain clandestine intelligence agency" Reginald said "Human experiments on the mind. I should have know" Five said "Psychological warfare was all the rage in the '60s, but it was only a brief contract. Immensely lucrative" Reginald "So you can erase memories?" Luther asked "With the human mind, anything is possible, young mand" Reginald said.
